The end crowns all, and that old common arbitrator, Time, will one day end it.

To give a satisfactory decision as to the truth it is necessary to be rather an arbitrator than a party to the dispute.

Norman

Semantics nominated by the Teuton.
A prayer to saints and hypocrites
Idiosyncrasy denounced by the faithless
I shall meditate upon my name.

A sound resonating the mediocrities
A noise possessing the peculiarities
An arbitrator of bipolarities
I shall meditate upon my name.

In desolation, in defeat, in confusion
In delight, in bliss, in ebullience.
Signature affixed of pride and ego
I shall meditate upon my name.

"Norman, adj., Teut., Hopeful"

Metaphysical View

Sitting between the knees,
I am being bathed by intense anxiety
and fear of harsh light.

A canopy of doubts
confronts the dignity versus anarchy
for a watchman
who will not dare open-

the vault of truth. A fatal
ire of imagination puts him
to dire need of salvation.

Was I moving from the wrong
side of history in my zodiac
to change the drooping eyelids?

Death opens my door for a shortwhile
and then walks away
after watching the transparencies.

Part Of The Creator

It is absurd to think about the part of the creator
He is the sole judge, care taker and arbitrator
I think it will be too much to think about father of the universe
When tons of praises may be less even if we pray from verses

It will be mere imagination on our part
Some of the universal actions stop or start
It has nothing to do with our thinking
Even if we have some means or little inkling

If we go by any standard of thinking in reality
The human beings are bestowed with very good quality
That is power of judgment and arguments in favor or against
Simultaneous to go in for and deliberately insist

What is he if we carefully analyze and weigh
It will be arrow in dark even if shot by and thought naïve
What it ahs to achieve other than raising the controversy?
This does not, in any way, lower the power of almighty

Sole Arbitrator and Master

I don't mind mosquito bites
I don't mind even street fights
They have become just routine and normal
We rub it off from mind with easy dismissal

I can understand about dog's bark
At any stranger's entry make ire to spark
But why do the learned people use abusive language?
Just short of heavy fight to prove the clear edge

I can understand too about river's naughtiness
When in spate doesn't care about whom she faces?
That is one kind of joy to express eagerness and show
But why do sea change color, play havoc and blow?

I see people damaging public property and burning?
Poor people rush with nothing on hand to return
They never reach home and loose the precious life?
Should any one be subjected to attack from sharp knife?

Basic to Long For

It is very basic to long for closeness
It is also essential to feel oneness
Life is given for once in life time
Don’t waste it in committing crime

“To love and be loved” must form instinct
You must look different and distinct
This is how human being and individual excel
Know the world fully well and authoritatively tell

It is grief that melts the hard core man
He goes for quick remedy in capacity whatever he can
That is God gift and everybody is gifted
Person may change for a while when interest is shifted

No need to tell others as what to do
They have seen enough of it and passed through
How can we be the judge of others action?
You are not to jump as arbitrator as reaction

Your Hair

Your hair, a city of chestnut brown
With locks resilient like hands, steady ambidextrous hands
And the chamomile bliss and breeze in the land,
Subtly sit like an orphaned child

Your hair, and the enticing air
Twisted and curled, devoured by a cicada
With pointed antenna beaming forward
Quantum leaps and celestial bodies reunited

Your hair, of soft and cozy feel
Buried me underneath the aroma
Of coffee-laced and inebriated mornings,
In the strands of the rays of the Sun,

Hanging by a thread,
Dwindling by the street lamps that flicker -
Ensconced in the premise of the night
And the eyes resembling a masked crescent moon

I won't allow

I won’t allow any one to step in my domain
It will be my affair and personally remain
Exclusive area to be decided by me alone
Even though independent arbitrator and lone

No one can come here and dictate
It is not their willingness to indicate
It will be me only to act even if late
This is plain fact I have to narrate or state

Everybody is having independent life to lead
We have no time to think their style and read
It certainly hinges on bare thread
I won’t go to any one and plead

Let them live the way they like
I might have many likes and dislikes
I shall rule the mind and behave
I shall shape them and continuously have

A direct poser

Have we ever posed a poser?
Why at the end I am looser?
Why I look crook and miser?
Why have I not grown with years to look wiser?

A pertinent question is puzzling the mind
No satisfactory solution is insight to find
I have loved all and tried to be very kind
They always occupy space in my mind

Subconsciously we sometimes react angrily
We spoil the life which we were leading happily
It may create heavy spark and set everything on fire
People may not take you lightly or admire

We are here to live in peace with harmony
Material gain should be there including money
Our all efforts should look generous and not funny
You may stand isolated and not favored by many
